getting out of alt+tab switcher with with a shortcut

[David Rosenstrauch]

Look in xfce4-settings-manager -> Window Manager -> Keyboard.  There's 
an action "Cancel" that is (or should be) mapped to the Escape key.

And I don't know what command to assign to the Esc key to achieve this. Couldn't get much help from the internet. That's why I ask here. I'm not understanding how it can disappear from the keyboard shortcuts.
